As per ANI, a source who knows PM Modi for several years explained that long back in the early nineties he used to put the special frequent-flyer card to good use.
The source added that PM Modi used to visit the destinations during the day and usually take the last flight back so that hotel-stay money could be saved. He used to sleep in the plane and airports very often, the source added.
Ahead of the visit, PM Modi in a statement said: “In Japan, I will also participate in the second in-person Quad Leaders’ Summit, which will provide an opportunity for the leaders of the four Quad countries to review the progress of Quad initiatives. We will also exchange views about developments in the Indo-Pacific region and global issues of mutual interest.”
